Yes that's what it was last year, so I am assuming it's what it is, this season. However I am sure I saw somewhere, or someone posted, that this seasons formula has been up on a website / link for some time now, maybe weeks or months. If so anybody know where it is. I heard the RFL did this, so that everybody knew what the formula / permutations were, long before the final positions were known. Presumably so they cannot then be accused of manipulating them to certain teams advantages.Danny Boy wrote:The Super 8's Fixtures formula from last season, so I am assuming it will be the same this season.
Here's hoping that Catalans don't make the 8, because if they do, no doubt we will have to travel there again come the Super 8s!
If so, they really also ought to have done the fixtures well beforehand also, even though well before teams positions are known. eg Week 1 Position 1 will play position 5 position 2 v 7 etc, etc. and so forth all the way to week 7. Or 24 to 30, which ever way you look at it. Then it all looks fair, as there will be little advantages. I mean you would like whoever gets to Wembley, the week before, or maybe even the week after. Also anyone battling all the way for a top 4 slot, would probably want us the week before the play offs, bearing in mind we will almost certainly have already won the LLS and will in all likelihood rest a few players in the last game before the play offs.
I don't think we will be the only one's who want Catalan out of the top 8's.
